We were set up in 2012 by Brent Council and Locality to grow the use of vacant property for projects that deliver economic development and social or environmentally led regeneration. Vacant property represents a cost to landlords and developers and can drain the vitality out of our neighbourhoods. We work to capture the costs and turn them into opportunities to create social and economic value. We do this by becoming the tenants of vacant properties and enabling people to make valuable use of them in a way that supports their neighbourhoods. Our charitable status means that it can be more affordable for us to occupy a space than for it to sit empty.
Unplanned road closures in and around Park Avenue
Park Avenue (NW10) is closed to traffic while Thames Water works to fix urgent water supply issues in the area. Cadent is also carrying out emergency repairs to a nearby gas leak, so local disruption is likely.
Due to the emergency nature of these works, we were unable to plan for this disruption. We’re working closely with Thames Water and Cadent to resolve the issues as quickly as possible. We thank you for your patience.
